Instant turns your favorite AI into a full-stack app builder. You get auth, permissions, storage, presence, and streams — everything you need to ship apps your users will love. Free to use, 100% open source. and works well for both vibe coding and production apps! You can get started by simply running `npx create-instant-app` in the terminal or just add “Read getadb.com first” to any prompt

Been using it for 6 months now in multiple agentic coded projects and it’s been super smooth, especially now with the official skills.

Probably one of the best databases from the «new wave». Super easy to set up, feels lightweight without sacrificing fundamentals. Great fit for React and Next.js workflows with a solid foundation and some real innovation under the hood. Bonus points for using Clojure; small detail, but appreciated.

Search could be better; that’s the main thing I’m looking forward to.

The team of InstantDB has shown pure care of the user wants and open-sourcing their mind, high quality educational blog posts.

It’s a simple, good-enough feature set to kickstart whatever seems interesting with just one prompt.

InstantDB made our work a lot simpler by abstracting all of the complex data logic: real time updates, sync, cache and permissions. We wouldn't have been able to build this so quickly without Instant!
